DELHI - AGRA-BHARATPUR - JAIPUR - DELHI

AGRA:

This historical city stands 200 km south of New Delhi, on the banks
of river Yamuna. Over three centuries ago, it was a powerful Mughal
capital and the most important city of northern India. It was at this
time that Agra's many timeless architectural wonders were born: the
wonderful Taj Mahal, the awesome Agra Fort, and the sprawling Sikandara -
a whole city in itself.

Agra Fort : Built in red sand stone, it is the one of the
famous sights of Agra other than Taj Mahal. The semi circular fort was
started by Akbar in 1565, and completed in 1574.

Taj Mahal : The most photographed monument in the world, the
Taj stands in its splendor of white marble, an imposing citadel on the
banks of river Yamuna. Built in 17th century by Shah Jahan, the fifth
Mughal emperor, in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is
an ode to the emperor's eternal love for his wife. It took over 20,000
skilled workers from across the country, working day and night, for 22
years for this architectural wonder to be created.

Fatehpur Sikri:

40 km from Agra, it is a city completely
made of red sand stone. Built by Akbar and dedicated to a saint, Fatehpur Sikri was conceived in 1571. Worth visiting are the Jama
Masjid, Salim Chisti's tomb, the Diwan-e-Aam, the Diwan-e-Khas and the
Queen's palaces within the city.

JAIPUR:

The
Pink City is replete with historical landmarks that echo its past
glory and living traditions. Discover palaces and forts, temples and
gardens, crafts and pageantry here.

City Palace: Built by Sawai Jai Singh, it became the official seat
of the Jaipur royal family after 1922. A large part of the brilliant
palace is now a museum, displaying an excellent collection of artifacts
used by the Rajput royalty.

Jantar Mantar: Built in 1728, it is one of Sawai Jai Singh's
unique observatories. It has instruments that have been scientifically
designed to predict the movement of the major stars accurately. It
represents the high point of medieval Indian astronomy.

Amer Fort: It is one of the finest and the best preserved
forts, having served as the royal capital for seven long years before
the city of Jaipur was built. It has a complex of several palaces,
meeting halls, pavilions, gardens and temples. The Fort was built in the
later half of the 10th century by Raja Man Singh.
